My dad is offering me his four-year-old IBM laptop, but I want to make sure 
that it can keep up with what I usually do. Normally, I would say no, as I 
already have a small collection of old laptops that are practically 
dinosaurs, but even though this one is a Pentium 300, it's got 588MB of 
memory (max limit), so it might still be able to keep up. In any case, I'm 
planning on bring a copy of Knoppix to test it out, but can anyone else 
suggest ways to test its "horsepower"? I'm looking at real world stuff, so I 
intend to bring along a program to compile, and Knoppix already provides Ogg 
files to play, but one thing that concerns me is that Knoppix will already be 
hogging the memory, so I won't get as accurate a picture as I would like. 
Suggestions welcome.
